FRAUD ALERT. Someone has hacked my account. I have no items for sale. I have been victimized by this sort of scam in other venues, so please be careful. I guarantee that if you send money in response to any of the ads placed in "my" name, you will get nothing from me other than good wishes...

I was thinking about that. What I also thought was I could put a multi pole single through switch on the panel and run all the switched wires through it. One position on the switch would be Yoke Switches On, and the other Yoke Switches off. I think I need a PTT on both yokes, and I want SWAP...

I can see this thread is going to cost me money. I was not aware of the Avion yokes. I have Cessna yokes now on the 182, but they were not original. The question is whether to put switches on the right yoke. Would it be advisable to put AP disconnect on the copilot's side?

ACR anti-camout removal. Years go, the Rigid ACR screwdrivers were considered the best. I bought a set and have used them for 20 years. A small touch of valve lapping compound on the bit may help.

Then why did it take years and years to get the STC? Are you saying the STC was processed in a commercially reasonable fashion? Because that's not what I got from reading about G100UL.

They were referring to month after month of failure to respond. It's not hard to disguise sloth as concerns of safety. It's the typical governmental preserve your ass strategy- if you don't make any decisions, you can't be blamed for making a bad decision.

\ From what I read from GAMI, the FAA dragged its feet and slowed down the process significantly.

Do you think the FAA worked at a reasonable pace in the G100UL certification?

As the article says, 14 CFR part 43, which is applicable to any aircraft originally certified under a type certificate, regardless of whether it is now in the experimental category.

To start, the prohibition of taking a certificated aircraft to experimental with the addition of this engine. I could see that a LS engine could be a very enticing option to someone with an older airframe. And I don't think I would balk at buying a certificated airframe that was "demoted" to...

It's more the lawyers. Now you have to tell the purchaser not to drink the battery acid.

You will likely be prescribed PT afterwards. Get a PT who is familiar with TKR therapy. PT after TKR is important to keep adhesions from limiting your range of motion. Comply fully with the PT, and you will likely have an excellent result.

I put an enameled cast iron pot filled with water on top of my stove. The stove had a cook plate right on top of the catalytic combustor, and that increased humidity. If the insert just fits into the face of a fireplace, I can see where that would be a challenge.

That is the scariest thing I've ever heard in nearly 70 years.

I use nylon washers under SS screw heads and use a little Never Sneeze on the threads. Everything is still where I originally put it.

Lycs are a completely different animal. I've flown many years behind a Lyc, and I had to use carb heat only once. Flying behind a Conti, you are going to use it almost every flight. In a two hour flight today, the engine monitor was flashing red about carb temp almost continuously. I only...

A fireplace is usually a net energy consumer. You lose more energy than you produce. You need a fireplace insert, a woodstove or a woodstove insert in order to get get heat. I heated the house for years with a chainsaw, woodstove and a splitter. Get one that flips up so you can split...

I had a tough time going through the filter media with a utility knife. I am thinking about getting a carpet cutting knife, since the business portion of the blade seems longer that a regular utility knife. If that doesn't work, I will try a razor saw. I recognize I will have to be careful...

I just cut a filter yesterday. I took an old baking tray to put on top of the workbench. I have an automotive filter cutter from JEGS, which I think cost about $25. There are two types of filters, one with male threads, and one with female threads, like most automotive filters. I had to drill...

I'm looking at the Jepp chart but my guess is that the second one is with the Winchester Altimeter setting, which gets you down to 1125'@ 1 for A and B. The first one is with local altimeter, and gets you down to 1025' @ 3/4 for A and B. Both sets of minima have non-standard climb gradients on...
